ActionScript 2.0 :: LocalToGlobal Point Wrong?

Oct 29, 2007

I have a movie clip that is nested inside 2 other clips and want to get it's coordinates on the stage. I am using the localToGlobal method but it is returning the wrong values. Here is my code:[AS]

var myPoint = new Point(this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.x, this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.y);
var newPoint = this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.localToGlobal(myP);
trace(newP);[/AS]

I've attached an fla with an example of this in. If anyone can point out where I'm going wrong .

ActionScript 3.0 :: LocalToGlobal Showing Wrong Values?

Feb 19, 2011

My problems keep piling up. I was trying to figure out where child objects X and Y positions are on stage and not locally. Therefore i use the "localToGlobal" function and I'm pretty sure i use it correctly? The thing is that some Y values are true but the X are just completely spaced out. I use a function to find all child objects on stage and this works great.

Code:
private function findGameElements():void
{
// Array that will store all elements on screen and their values
fixedElements = new Array();

ActionScript 3.0 :: LocalToGlobal Way Off Y Is Right / But X Is Right

Feb 16, 2010

I have a bunch of enemy ships in a container on the stage.I am moving the container around every second and I'm creating bullets that the enemy ship are firing.So I need to have the bullets get created on the stage where the enemy ship is located currently so I can have it y-- on an enter frame event.The Y coordiantes are accurate but for some reason the X coordinates get scaled across the screen. So the first enemy ship is only off by 10 pixels or so, but the 2nd ship, the bullet gets created about 50-60 pixels over to the right.Is there any reason why the Y would be right but the X isn't?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: LocalToGlobal : How Does It Work

Dec 14, 2010

I have a some objects of same class type prgramatically generated on the stage.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage is the code:

Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(parent.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);
A sample of the trace output is as follows..
(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0

Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its absolute location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.Bare in mind these object will be of any name on the stage and will be dynamically created so its not easy to just reference their mc names.

Flash :: Dynamic MC's Path With LocalToGlobal?

Sep 27, 2010

I'm adding several instances of an MC (bread_mc) into a container MC (wall_mc). wall_mc has been added to a shop class and that is where i'm called the rest of my functions from. Also the wall_mc is scrolled left and right with mouseX & mouseY values. I've set up a function to add the bread_mc to the wall at different x/y positions.

[Code]...

I really don't even know if i'm using it right, But I think my problem lies in the fact that I need the currMC path to travel up the display list tree and get the global stage X/Y position. I'm not too sure how to implement a dynamic path with the localToGlobal method.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Bring 23 Boxes To The Front, Using LocalToGlobal?

Oct 13, 2011

I got 23 boxes (box1, box2...) inside two movieclips (Circle.SizeableCircle). I need to bring all these to the front, using localToGlobal.This brings box1 to the front (or whatever it's called):

PHP Code: var cpBox1:Point=new Point(Circle.SizeableCircle.box1.x,Circle.SizeableCircle.box1.y);var gpBox1:Point=Circle.SizeableCircle.box1.parent.localToGlobal(cpBox1); 

What can I do instead of making 23x that code?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash LocalToGlobal And GlobalToLocal - Get Value In Global Coordinates

Oct 27, 2010

I have a small problem with usage localToGlobal and than back to local. I can get global coordinate of my nested mc in question alright. Than i check if this coordinate + value of my mc.width is more than my stage width. I get to this part with no problem. Than if value is bigger (so mc is not on the stage i mean if part is off the stage i change value so it is stage width - mc.width). So i get value in global coordinates that i need. But how do i apply this to my nested clip is my question? For reference here is my code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Simple LocalToGlobal - Indicate Its Actual Location On The Stage?

Dec 4, 2010

Ive tried looking in a whole bunch of threads for a solution to this probably common issue but to no avail.I have a bunch of objects of same type on the stage which are generated through code.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage.

Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(stage1.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);

stage1 is the stage object I pass into my class.The trace output is as follows

(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0

Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its actual location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.

ActionScript 2.0 :: LocalToGlobal() - Put Four Empty Movie Clips On Each Of The Character's Base Corners?

Aug 17, 2004

I'm working on an isometric-view prototype game, and I thought a good way to do the collision detection would be to put four empty movie clips on each of the character's base corners (it's a cube), convert those corner's _x and _y to the Stage, and go from there. Problem is, how to get it to work.My character is on the stage in an otherwise empty "clip" MovieClip. Here's what I have inside my character:

Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var point:Object = new Object();
point.rightX = right._x;[code]....

Whenever I trace any of these, it always traces the local coordinates. Otherwise, everything is fine.

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.

Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Distance From Point To Point And Referencing Other Instances Of The Same Class

Feb 8, 2009

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.

What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.

ActionScript 2.0 :: A Line From One Point Past Another Point And Whether It Hits An Object?

Aug 19, 2009

I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.
